I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm at a loss... I'm probably blind and the answer is right in front of me.

How do I do a math operation (ADD, SUB, DIV, MUL) to a system variable like @STATS.LOGONS@?

For example, divide STATS.LOGONS (total logons during history of system) by
7 to get the average calls per day... (just an example, not really the value I'm looking for).

@CODES@ as embedded in menus and other text screens aren't variables in
the programatic sense. They are substitution codes that are textually replaced in ASCII/ANSI files when those files are sent to the caller.
You can't do arithmetic with them.

If you are coding in BAJA and want to do arithmetic with a system variable
you use the ADD, SUB, MUL and DIV operations. I'd recommend copying the
value to a user variable first and working with that, though.

I had that figured out... but what are the variable names to access those in BAJA? I've tried them without the @'s and it gives me the error:

!SYNTAX ERROR (expecting variable name):

Oh, I see.

Well, not every @CODE@ has an equivilent BAJA variable. Look near the
bottom of docs/baja.html for a list of system variables.

look in sbbsdefs.inc for stuff you can work with in baja.

for example, a callers mod i had laying around:
